Otherwordly Seasons: Uranus, the seventh planet in the Solar System, is an "ice giant" that travels around the Sun while tipped on its side. NASA describes the planet as a mysterious and mostly unknown world, though new research tried to examine some of its planetary features in unprecedented detail. An international team used 20 years of data and photos taken by the Hubble Space Telescope to study Uranus' atmosphere and its seasonal changes. The icy world was portrayed for the first time in 19

Uranus, the seventh planet in the Solar System, located between Saturn and Neptune, has long been a mystery. But by analyzing observations made by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope over a 20-year period, a research team from the University of Arizona and other institutions has provided new insights into the composition and dynamics of the planet’s atmosphere. Information about Uranus is limited. What we know is that the planet is composed mainly of water and ammonia ice, its diameter is about 51,00

On April 7, Uranus passed in front of a distant star located 400 light-years away, giving NASA scientists a rare cosmic alignment in which to investigate the distant ice giant. During the hour-long event, called a stellar occultation, Uranus’ atmosphere refracted the star’s light, dimming it before blocking it out completely. Though it’s counterintuitive, the dimming light provided an opportunity to illuminate aspects of Uranus that are usually difficult to spot. 30 astronomers at 18 observato

Decades of data collected by the Hubble Space Telescope has given an international team of astronomers fresh insight into what’s going on with Uranus. A new analysis, published in Nature Astronomy, calculates the spin of one of our solar system’s most understudied planets with unprecedented precision. A human-made object has visited the seventh planet from the Sun just once. On January 24, 1986, NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft conducted a flyby, gathering some of the most comprehensive data scienti
